HP Web Jetadmin - Supported Printer Features in HP Web Jetadmin

22
Job Timeout
This value represents (in seconds) the maximum time of inactivity which must elapse before the print server card switches from the current network
protocol to another when a normal end of a print job is not detected. For external HP Jetdirect print servers, allowable values are zero, and from 30 to
3,600 seconds. For internal HP Jetdirect print servers, allowable values are zero, and from 30 to 127 seconds.
Link Setting
Use this option to specify the link speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and the communication mode (full- or half-duplex) that the device should use when
connecting to your 10/100Base-TX network each time it is powered on. To communicate on your network, the device link speed and communication
mode must match the operation of your network. If the device setting is Auto, the device will attempt to auto-negotiate its link settings with the network
each time it is powered on. If the device successfully links to the network, you can then use this feature to specify the link speed on the device. When
the device is powered on again, the configured setting will be used. However, if the device fails to link using Auto, then the link settings on the device
will default to 100 Mbps and half-duplex mode. Communications with the device over the network may, or may not, be possible. The link setting
options are: Auto-Link settings are automatically negotiate, 10TXFULL-10 Mbps, full-duplex operation, 10TXHALF-10 Mbps, half-duplex
operation100TXFULL-100 Mbps, full-duplex operation, 100TXHALF-100 Mbps, half-duplex operation
Locally Administered
Address
Locally administered addresses are only supported in Token Ring HP Jetdirect print servers. The network device manufacturer originally sets the
media access control (MAC) address in the device read-only memory. You can change the MAC address for most Token Ring network devices. This
option lets you specify the MAC address on the Token Ring HP Jetdirect print server. Some Token Ring environments use the Locally Administered
Address feature. While it is not a requirement that you change the MAC address, the Locally Administered Address feature might be implemented in
some Token Ring environments. Some administrators find it easier to manage devices if the MAC address for all of the devices of the same type start
with specific characters. For example, starting all HP devices with 003.
mDNS Service Name
Use this option to change the name of a printer that is running in an mDNS environment. You can assign a user-friendly printer name that helps you
easily find the printer in device lists. The printer name is changed on the HP Jetdirect card.
Network Enable Features
Use this option to enable or disable various network configuration tools, printing methods, and other features that the device supports. Because each
device supports different features, the configurable items available for a specific device vary.
Parallel Handshake
This option lets you specify the parallel mode that the HP Jetdirect EX print server uses. If the specified mode does not work, the HP Jetdirect print
server tries other modes until it finds one that does work. The default option tells the HP Jetdirect print server to select whichever mode is the fastest. If
you know which parallel mode is the fastest, select it; otherwise, leave this option set to the default.
Parallel Mode

know which parallel mode is the fastest, select it; otherwise, leave this option set to the default.
Phone Home Privacy
Setting
This feature allows you to control whether HP may collect statistical data on product use. By allowing HP to collect this information, improved product
features and services can be provided in the future. HP will not collect network-specific or personal data. For information on HP privacy policies, read
the Hewlett-Packard Online Privacy Statement available by clicking privacy statement at http://www.hp.com in your language. For HP to collect any
information, Internet access must be available.
Protocol Stacks
This option lets you enable or disable the various protocol stacks on the HP Jetdirect print server. Many networks only use a few protocols. For
example, the AppleTalk and DLC protocols are enabled by default on HP Jetdirect print servers, but many networks do not use them. Although leaving
unused protocols active does not harm the network, you might gain the following benefits if you disable them:
Proxy Server
Use this option to configure or view the web browser proxy settings on the device (for example, to enable OXPd 1.6 functionality that requires
accessing web sites from a device). You can determine whether or not the web proxy is enabled. If enabled, the proxy address and port must be set.
Proxy credentials may be provided. A proxy exception list is also supported. The device web browser does not use the proxy for addresses in the
Proxy server exception list.
Scan Idle Timeout
This option lets you specify how long the device waits before closing an idle connection and going to the next print job. If your network is busy, there
may be a delay in the packet transmissions. In this case, you might want to specify a longer timeout value.
